Being passionate AP Physics student, it's making me bounce-off-the-walls giddy to realize that I actually know the equations you're talking about. However, I'm sort of confused--while I understand how this could work, I do want to know--um, why? An orbit around what, exactly? Or is this purely theoretical equations being proved through experiment, somehow, or...? (Okay, I know this was posted approx. forever ago, but I'm just now researching you for a project, and found this...) --A Bit Confused Dear Bill Nye/Planetary Society:

Its really troubling that so many of us either think that there is an unlimited supply of good clean energy, or ignore the issue completely. For others, solar options, as well as many fresh technologies represent a bright light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I highly regard anyone, who in either a strong or small way, takes their valued time to train everyone about their personal chances and duties when it comes to our future, and our grandkids future. When we look back twenty years from now, it will almost be implausible that we were even engaged in this debate. Our energy future is a forgone conclusion, and we all have a function to take on in progressing us toward it.
